A lot of bloggers have recently been sharing the cost of real estate in their area.

How to Create Your Own Job
Happy Labor Day! Just a year ago I would’ve been in an office working today. I had a job with no health insurance, no retirement plan, no sick days and one whole week of paid vacation. Even though I liked the people I worked with, I hated my job. Sundays were the worst. I’d spend the whole day stressing out that I had to return

To fill you in I earn somewhere around $2,500/month and
America the Spoiled: A Look at the Rest of the World
Yesterday I got a Magazine from Compassion International, a Christian charity that helps children and communities across the world. Like always the magazine featured some interesting statistics about other countries. I was in utter amazement at just how little people in other countries get by on. Of course, “getting by” is a very relative term. Because the truth is many people in other countries aren’t
